Getting Craft with Some Wood

Image
I honestly don't remember exactly when I came up with the idea for this project, but once it showed up it didn't want to leave. Part of how this project came to me is that I had purchased the wood at Michael's for something else that ended up not working with the piece. Since I had already removed the packaging I couldn't return it so I had to think of something else to use it for. The picture I took and used. Again I don't remember how I exactly thought of this but I went with it anyhow. But since we have multiple stencils with the alphabet in different fonts on them I grabbed them out of the draw that they are stored in and then picked the one that I liked the best. After I traced the words onto the wood I plugged in the wood burner that we have and went to work burning the letters. With the wood burner it didn't take that long to do the letters and I like the way that they turned out. Before I actually did the letters I used a heart stencil on the ba...

7 Quick Takes Friday

- 1 - Last weekend was my cousin's wedding, which was a lot of fun. Even though it was kind of dark in the hall where the reception was held I was able to take a couple pictures. This was the table setting at the table I was at. - 2 - This picture I took when we were driving down there on Friday and I like how it turned out :) - 3 - In between the reception and the wedding ceremony we went and took pictures for our Christmas card and we were told to do a Vouge picture. - 4 - Even though I started my NaNo-ing Sunday evening after getting back from the wedding, I thought I did pretty good with my writing for the day.

So far I have used one of them. - 5 - This year, even though I had a pumpkin to decorate I never actually got around to doing anything with it. My idea was to paint a minion face on it, but that of course never happened. But it doesn...

--- 1 --- Last weekend we went to a wedding! It was a family friend who was married so everything was very nice. The church that the mass and wedding ceremony was beautiful and old (though it was kind of out it n the middle of know where). All of the bridesmaids dresses were very pretty, the bride's dress was pretty as well. The reception was fun as well. During the reception Yavi caught the bouquet during the bouquet toss. --- 2 --- As you know I have been doing a photo a day thing. It has been interesting trying to come up with things to take pictures of. But it has been fun so far. Monday's was a little hard to do since it was early and I am not an early morning person. So a hand drawn sun rise was the next best thing. --- 3 --- The actor who will be playing the 12th doctor was announced on Sunday. I am going to say this now in case any Doctor Who fans don't want to find out until the Christmas special but: Spoilers! So now that you have been warned about s...
